Considered a national treasure in her native Australia, the very beautiful Kylie Minogue has accomplished a great deal in her lifetime. After beating breast cancer, one may wonder why she persists so tirelessly. I think that is explained in the simplest of terms in the first sentence of the first track of her latest album: "Dance...it's all I want to do". After the more tame and slower tempo and sound on her last release, 2007's "X", Minogue returns to her eclectic disco inspired dance sound that blends a 70's/80's era sound with electro backbeats and intimately ornate and catchy lyrics. "Aphrodite" is relentless dance music. There are no slower tracks present on this work. There is no experimentation on this record either, it's classic Minogue. The soft delivery, at times whispering, has become one of this artist's signatures. Most dance music is about being loud and energetic, but Kylie's soft vocals add a certain sexiness to the work that is very appealing. Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love, beauty and sexuality is an appropriate namesake for this highly enjoyable album.
